Where to go Windsurfing near London?

London & windsurfing – can they go together? Our capital city & home to tons of people, great shopping & nightlife but what do you do if you want to learn to windsurf near London? Resign to the fact that London & windsurfing just don’t mix? No, it’s not that bad.

Well, there are a few options for windsurfing in or near London. Queen Mary Reservoir would be the 1st (& maybe only real) option that is right there in London but the problem with this windsurfing location & others like it is that they are inland reservoirs. This creates a few problems for those looking the take beginners windsurfing lessons. Inland reservoirs are usually surrounded by trees or buildings that shadow the wind making conditions gusty & the depth of water drops away very quickly, making it much harder when you have to climb back on your windsurf board. Not to mention the fact that the water temperature is usually freezing in a deep water reservoir!
